Chapter Seventy-Four: The Rotten Bannerman (1)

Zhang Shiling opened his mouth and yelled: "Leave me alone, go and control the government for me, go and open the West City Gate for me!" ”

He screamed several times, because he couldn't hear the sound, and he didn't know if the sons heard clearly......

Outside the Yong'an Gate in Xicheng, on the bank of the White River, Zhu Cijiong and his people have been lying on their stomachs for half a night.

Nanyang is no longer the Nanyang of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, there were only 30,000 people left in the city.

Originally, the generation in the south of the city was full of docks, but now it is a barren place, and the yellow artemisia is taller than people!

The dilapidation of Nanyang did not ease again until the end of the Qing Dynasty - of course, this is also related to the turmoil in Nanyang after the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Highness, why don't you attack! It's dawn! ”

The flintlock pistol in Yang Qilong's hand was aimed at a tartar at the head of the city.

"Wait!"

Zhu Cijiong shook the telescope in his hand, took a deep breath, the dew soaked his clothes, and the clothes with a slight coolness were attached to his body, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The sun in the east is about to jump out of the horizon, and the noise of the people in the city after getting up can be heard from afar.

Yang Qilong's eyebrows twisted slightly, at this time, the sky was just bright, and it was the time when the defenders were most sleepy.

If you don't take advantage of this last moment to storm the city, by the time the defenders are fully conscious, the casualties will be greatly increased.

Just when the sun had just jumped out of the horizon and had not yet changed from brilliant red to dazzling gold, he saw a huge fireball suddenly soaring into the sky in Nanyang City.

Then there was a shaking under their feet, as if the earth dragon had turned over, and everyone seemed to be upside down.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar came from within the city.

Everyone felt dizzy in their minds, and they only felt that their hearts had stopped......

The whole world seemed to be silent for a breath.

Looking at the black smoke and dust slowly rising in the city, as well as the Qing army that was awakened by a loud noise on the city and was in a daze, Zhu Cijiong roared:

"Brothers, call me!"

Yang Qilong immediately pulled the trigger, he had already aimed at the downstairs of the city gate, and he was leaning on the Qing soldier who was napping by the female wall for a long time!

The smooth head made Yang Qilong clearly understand that this person was a real tartar!

The Qing court paid such heavy taxes, it was not easy for the common people to live, and where could they have the money for the shaver!

"Click!"

The hammer struck, but no bullets were heard......

Yang Qilong's face changed!

What's that?

It's dumb fire!

"Ping!"

A burst of flame came out of the muzzle of Chen Yi's gun, and a faint smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

In Yang Qilong's crosshairs, the Qing soldiers at the head of the city fell in response.

"Bald Chen, you robbed me of my prey!" Yang Qilong muttered as he pulled the trigger.

His words were drowned out in the shrill sound of gunfire......

"Ping Pong!"

With the first gunshot, one after another, the gunshots rang out one after another.

At the west gate, the thirty or so guards who showed their heads were beaten into a sieve......

……

"Is it an earthquake? Or did the powder magazine explode? ”

The great change in the city woke up Surda's men, who were lying in the windy and rainless city gatehouse, and they were sleepy-eyed, and they had not had time to figure out what was happening.

I heard a rush of gunfire outside the city.

"Damn! There are gunshots outside the city! ”

A few tooth swingers hurriedly walked out of the city gate tower, and before they could reach the cat's waist, they were knocked to the ground by bullets from under the city.

These elite tooth swingers were pierced through more than a dozen holes without even snorting......

"Someone is rebelling!" A fateful leader reached out to cover his bleeding shoulder and roared.

The moment he went out just now, he subconsciously bent over, but he didn't expect to save his life.

The leader raised his eyes and looked around, only to find that most of the soldiers on the city wall he had brought had been killed.

The few remaining ones were lying at the entrance of the female wall, shooting at the bandits outside the city......

He shook his head slightly.

This group of people...... It's so cozy!

The court should have changed its rules!

Putting the Eight Banners athletes in the inner cities of various places will do no good except for making a comfortable life and grinding out their bravery!

And the "hardcore crops" that everyone has, but they can only raise the Eight Banners athletes into a group of lazy pigs!

Look at it, this Nanyang Chengping has only been more than ten years, and these people have even been on the battlefield!

Who knows, it will be scrapped so soon!

……

In fact, most of the death of the city's banner was attributed to Surda.

After Suerda took over the defense of Nanyang City, because he didn't believe in the local green camp, he was afraid that they would collude with the Zhang family and the Li family.

He let his men draw strong men from all over the city and go to the head of the city to defend.

and transferred the green battalion under the command of the Nanyang garrison to the barracks in the city, and strictly ordered them not to leave the camp.

Eight Banners have a long history of distrust of the Green Battalion, and even in order to facilitate the supervision of the Green Battalion, they have been divided into dots, and the command has been deliberately set up in a mess......

If it weren't for the soldiers and horses that Surda brought with him and sent them to the city to oversee them, the Nanyang Qiding, who was used to stability, would have found a shelter from the wind and went to sleep soundly.

In this way, there will be no first wave of gunfire to kill dozens of flagmen......

The Manchurians in the inner city of Nanyang, after being summoned, because of the prestige of Aobai, were afraid of being subjected to military law, and even dozing off, they had to rely on the women's wall!

At the moment of the explosion in the city, they panicked and became the guns of others......

This little leader, how did he know that in the original history, when Wu Sangui rebelled a few years later, the Eight Banners directly fought by the Guanning Iron Cavalry were defeated.

forced Kangxi to order that the Eight Banners were not allowed to fight with the Guanning Iron Cavalry......

There is a way to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

The Eight Banners, which the Qing court supported with the strength of the whole country, thought that giving them hardcore crops, not allowing them to worry about supporting their families, and not allowing them to make other livelihoods, but only to fight as soldiers, would allow them to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

How do you know that the world has just been stable for more than ten years, and the Eight Banners will be abolished.

In a comfortable environment where you don't have to worry about eating and drinking and military discipline is relaxed, you still want to ensure your combat effectiveness - it's hard to do it when the gods come!

Even...... Many flagmen, in normal times, use three buckets of millet to hire people to stand guard for themselves, which even gave birth to a middleman who specializes in introducing this business - hiring tooth people.

The leader glanced out a few times through the observation hole, and he had already determined that the bandits outside the city did not carry ladders or cannons, so they would not be able to attack the city in a short time.

"If you still have any breath, hurry up and call the Nanyang Green Camp to come up and defend the city!"

The leader yelled.

In the pile of dead bodies, a Qing soldier crawled up one by one: "Master, the slave is going!" ”

Ling Xuan frowned, but there were dead bodies in front of him, so he had to let this person go.

In fact, under normal conditions, there are only 100 people defending a city wall.

If Surda did not change the defenders, the situation at the head of the city would not be so miserable.

Because at this time, the combat effectiveness of the green battalion is much stronger than that of these inner city bannermen who are full of meat......

"What about the cannons! Give me a shot! ”

The leader pointed to the smoke outside the city and yelled.
